This was done to hell and back.

('Note: at them moment of creation of that blog DmC didn't come out, but now it is considered a separate canon from the numbered games.)

Please people. Numbered DMC games are considered the ultimate arbiter of canon: contradicting material from any other parts of the franchise is considered to be non-canon. Deadly Fortune has arguable canon status, since contradicts the games. Simple as that.

Additionally, as a fun note, even inside the novel the information that Nero is Verg's son is a speculation that comes from an unreliable narrator.

I am guessing the theory that Nero is Vergil's son is worthy enough to be mentioned somewhere in the TRIVIA, but that's about it.

P.S.:Yes, CaT's summary is very opinionated, but those opinions mostly take place next to the facts, not instead of facts. Honestly, as far as things go, I would consider this source as reliable as it can be with being not the actual original source.
